Field of Bodies 2/18 – 5/18

Field of Bodies 2/18 -5/18, is a research project I’ve been working on that explores presence and bodies in virtual reality. I am using a program called Gravity Sketch, to find different ways to create a body in virtual reality using a variety of techniques, that I am calling “procedures”. I have been conducting artistic research by employing the design program’s tools and making simple physical tools that impose tangible limitations using preplanned strategies to direct the making of virtual bodies. This research is on-going and I am excited to explore new ways to reorient, reflect, analyze and create bodies in the virtual space. The show I had in May of 2018, Shadow and Dust, is the culmination of that research and the documentation for it can be found on this website.

This is an image from my performance from Shadows and Dust created in a drawing/design program. There are three separate procedures that intersect each other in both the virtual and physical space. I was honored to perform these procedures with artist Tsohil Bhatia.
